Objective: To compare the characteristics of postpartum control from Peruvian women in urban and rural areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study, carried out from the 2020 Demographic and Family Health Survey, analyzed 9017 records of women of reproductive age. Weighted and unweighted counts were estimated; and the chi square test was used at a 95% confidence level. Results: 97.1% of the women had postpartum control. In urban and rural areas, the prevalence of this service was 98.7% and 91.1%, respectively. 78.9% of women in urban areas had their first check-up within 4 hours after giving birth, 45.2% were seen by a doctor, and 58.2% received care in health facilities of the Ministry of Health. In rural areas, 35.1% received care from a professional Obstetrician, 12.3% had control between the first 4 and 23 hours of delivery, and 8.2% received this care at home or in the house of the midwife. Conclusions: In rural areas, compared to urban areas, postpartum control is less prevalent. The provision of this service in the shortest possible time, by health professionals and in health facilities, is significantly higher in urban areas.

Métodos: Estudio prospectivo, descriptico, transversal y de casos y controles, que incluyó 68 gestantes, atendidas desde septiembre de 2021 hasta enero de 2022 en el hospital Sergio Bernales de Lima, divididas en dos grupos, 48 casos, con el síndrome de flujo vaginal y 20 controles sin el mismo. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado, que incluyó información de la presencia y características del flujo vaginal, así como los factores asociados. Resultados: La prevalencia de síndrome de flujo vaginal fue 70,6 %. Tener menos de 18 años (RP: 1,55; IC 95 %: 1,28 – 1,89]), presentar anemia (RP: 1,38; IC 95 %: 1,06 – 1,80), haber iniciado precozmente las relaciones sexuales (RP: 2,33; IC 95 %: 1,21 – 4,49), el antecedente de flujo vaginal patológico (RP: 1,46; IC 95 %: 1,08 – 1,97), tener infección urinaria (RP: 1,46; IC 95 %: 1,08 – 1,97) y la higiene intima diaria (RP: 2,35; IC 95 %: 1,04 – 5,30) fueron factores asociados significativamente a la presencia de flujo vaginal patológico en la gestación. Conclusión: Este estudio encontró que determinados factores personales y ginecobstétricos, así como uno conductual, incrementaban el riesgo de presentar síndrome de flujo vaginal en el embarazo.
